| Sumario: | The article examines the image patterns in Charles Dickens's "Tale of Two Cities," as a reflection of Dickens's thoughts on the 1858-1959 rebellion when the novel was written and published. Two major image patterns recur in the story, such as drumming footsteps and the wine-stained shoes. The first is said to foreshadow revolutionary terror while the second represent the mob of partisans that will bring anarchy in 1789. The author also shows how the character Charles Darnay anticipates the creation of Pip in Dickens's "The Great Expectations." |
